The IHSSN has an agreement with FloWrestling to carry video from every round of the 2022 state tournaments. IHSSN previously carried every round through pay-per-view on TrackWrestling. However in February 2021, FloWrestling acquired TrackWrestling and its broadcast rights.
To view the dual tournament and all traditional tournament rounds, FloWrestling is available through an annual subscription at $150 per user.
If a user does not wish to remain a FloWrestling subscriber following the IHSAA’s tournaments (Feb. 16-19), they will have to go to FloWrestling to cancel their subscription. Users can cancel at any time.
The IHSAA receives no additional funds from IHSSN’s agreement with FloWrestling.
